This restaurant is located in the downtown strip of Central City, Iowa right off of Highway 13. The seating has booth, table, and bar seating. During the weeknights, its not hard to find a table, and carry-out is common in this community. The parking is as easy as you'd want it to be.

Slices

Final Comments/Considerations: Montana's isn't known for the gourmet menu. Its a family diner that serves up some pizza. This is the classic kind of pizza anyone can enjoy, a four year old up to a 44 year old. I was a little disappointed with the Taco, there weren't toppings/sauces for it when it was served. The wait time was a little excessive between ordering the second wave of pizzas, which was another incontinence. So if you order, order all at once. The Spicy Dick was a creative, unique pizza which shocked me. In fact, I was the only one at the table who wanted it...willing to pay for it on my own dime just to try it. This time is panned out earning 63% of the votes! So if you're in the Central City area, give the old Spicy Dick a try!
